This feature allows you to constantly improve and automate your process. The batch mesher works great. I newer versions you already have the undo "ctl Z" option. > > **Cons**: Some modules like HyperMorph require a lot of work to get the job done > > I had used it during the last 7 years on a daily basis ----- ### "Better with new interface" — 5.0/5 > **Altug** | *9 November 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the new interface; the icons are very understandable and useful. And we don't need to continuously press the ctrl button on the keyboard while panning and turning the geometry. > > **Cons**: After the 2022.1 patch, most of the bugs are removed, but there are still some. So I'm waiting for the 2022.2 patch; probably program will run more smoothly. And somehow, I didn't understand when the command was not working correctly after the close and reopen; the program command was working well. It happened a few times, which is weird. > > I'm cleaning geometries and meshing them quickly, which needs analysis and running smoothly. Hyperworks made my work easier and faster. For meshing, we are using it in our department all the time. ----- ### "Hyperworks" — 4.0/5 > **George** | *30 June 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excelent for beginners and not only. Good to do fast simulations and to build a complex model like a whole vehicle. > > **Cons**: To slowly for medium computers. It is necessary to spend a lot of money to buy a strong computer. > > I have build a lot of models for very important customers like BMW, Polestar, Renault, etc. ----- ### "Amazing software but is not user friendly" — 4.0/5 > **Angélica** | *28 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has amazing features for engineers, allows to do very useful analysis, in my experience I did a lot of structural optimizations. > > **Cons**: It doesn't have an undo option, you can only do it once. So if you want to go back to a previous state, you can't. And this is important because for working in finite elements analysis, you need to be very careful, so if you mess in the assignment of some elements, you can only undo the last action. Also, is not user friendly so I had to continuously search for help in the manual or in the site. The online help is very useful and they respond quickly. > > I did a structural optimization that allowed me to get my degree in MSc in mechanical engineer. ----- ### "Excelente simulación para diseño mecánico" — 4.0/5 > **Henry** | *1 December 2022* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Es un software muy bueno para la simulación de diseños mecánicos, sus resultados son muy cercanos a los reales y esto se lo hace en un tiempo corto y con un consumo de memoria mínimo de la pc, supera por mucho a otros software de simulación excelente trabajo Altair. > > **Cons**: La interface de comunicación del software con el usuario es poco complicada de manejar al inicio porque no se conoce las diferentes opciones que este ofrece y no se puede dar toda la utilidad al manejo de software > > Mi experiencia una de la mejores muy buena, excelentes diseños y simulaciones con resultados precisos y en tiempo corto, esencial para el momento de realizar el cad de los elementos mecánicos. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1009997/altair-hyperworks?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1009997/altair-hyperworks) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | it | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
